Kirk wanted me to post about all the interesting things I am learning in school, so I decided to start with math. This is the most recent thing I've learned about:
Slope-Intercept
y = mx + b
Intercept
The constant b is the intercept of the equation. B is the y-coordinate of the lie at the point where the line intercepts the y-axis.
Slope
The constant m is the slope of the line. The slope has both a sign and a magnitude.
I wish I could explain more, and have a graph to demonstrate on, but as I don't have the time to do so, may Kirk be content with this. :-)

Hurrah! That is a most vital piece of math that you will use over and over again in many situations! Memorize it well so you can say it when you are half awake.
Just wait when the intercept gets three parts and the x turns into three vector functions.
Fun, fun...
It is time for another blog post, dear Elly! You must come over and receive the award I want to give you! I believe that you are a blogger with integrity! So come receive your award! I'm very proud of you!
Love,
Mum
